A wonderful songwriter.

Warkworth Ontario singer-songwriter Darren Roy Clarke has released his stunning new album “Dirty Face and a Broken Screen”, a collection of modern classic folk songs with intimate vocals that pulls you right into his story: a country dweller, a family man and a tradesman who realized life is too short to not make the art he carries with him deep down. 

A few years ago, a near fatal work site accident while running his own contractor business put things in perspective for Clarke:

Life is too short. I need to do what fuels me.

Darren has gained recognition as a “musician’s musician,” sharing stages with Canadian performers Broken Social Scene, The Sadies, Kerri Ough (Good Lovelies), Tony Dekker (Great Lake Swimmers), and Craig Cardiff.

His musical storytelling tackles everything from the worry of living up to a spouse’s expectations, to struggles with mental health, and humanity’s penchant for Wanderlust. It’s his search, humble and human, that makes him the perfect companion to life’s moments- and were you lucky

“Dirty Face and a Broken Screen is an absolute work of art”

Great Dark Wonder
